Volunteers wanted: Ellie's yard after the storm
Ellie, 80, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Leeds for 20 years. After the storm in August, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of arthritis.
The council has told me it will be ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Ellie. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Baton Rouge
Take care, Ellie. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Lagos.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
